    "Malden is a small city north of Boston -- very diverse, friendly and affordable. Great restaurants, reflecting both long-time Maldonians and new immigrants. Lots of community involvement in the arts, sports, bicycling, libraries and education. The city has good MBTA access and bus lines that go to the areas beyond the T stations. "
